18  inches = 1 1 2  feet = 1.5  feet
18  inches = 1.5  feet
(1) Now we make a proportion to find feet for given inches
f e e t i n c h e s = f e e t i n c h e s 1.5 18 = x 36
1.5 36 = 18 x
54 = 18 ×  (Divide by 18 on both sides)
x = 3
3 feet long is a 36 inch board
(2) 72 inch board
1.5 18 = x 72
1.5 72 = 18 x 108 = 18 ×  (Divide by 18 on both sides) x = 6
6 feet long is a 72 inch board
(3) 144 inch board
1.5 18 = x 144
1.5 144 = 18 x 216 = 18 × (Divide by 18 on both sides) x = 12
12 feet long is a 144 inch board
